This book was so dense and meaty that I pulled quotes for my review. I can say that I am inclined to read more of Ardent‘s books but feel it would take more than a year & I would certainly need buddy reads,because although I am fascinated the philosophy thanks to the exposure from classes my son took in college,I struggle with processing philosophical thinking. Any takers? #adventuresinphilosophy

Suet624 I‘m not ready right now but, yes, soon I would be interested (edited) 5d

kspenmoll @Suet624 Sometimes it challenging right now-days I want only escapist reading. I found a penguin reader that dips into her work- maybe I can face that!!!!

Suet624 Oh yeah, that penguin reader looks interesting! We are overwhelmed with snow up here. It‘s like time is standing still. No cars, no plows. I feel like it‘s what Vermont used to be, with snow drifts over our heads. I walked to the bakery, a couple of blocks away and got myself a great big cinnamon roll. Just a few people out shoveling . It‘s gorgeous, but a lot. (edited) 5d

kspenmoll @Suet624 I am glad you live close to a bakery- you deserve a treat! Aldo glad you can walk. I got out yesterday for the first time since last Wednesday (in with bronchitis) & it was so refreshing to breathe in the outdoor air! 5d

Suet624 @kspenmoll I‘m glad you got outside. Snowstorm air is spectacular. 5d

TheBookHippie In a couple months yes! I preordered this yes I know pricey and Amazon but I preordered a year ago!! https://a.co/d/62iIAb3 however any of her books I‘d reread! I‘ve not read most since my 20s and I have no problem buying copies. 5d

ravenlee I got The Origins of Totalitarianism recently, so I‘d be game for a buddy read at some point. 5d

kspenmoll @TheBookHippie I have the older copy, not expanded, with intro by historian Anne Applebaum. 5d

TheBookHippie @kspenmoll @ravenlee I‘m up for anything. I wanted to get her books to own anyway. 5d

ravenlee @kspenmoll @TheBookHippie my copy is the same, with the Applebaum intro. 5d

GingerAntics You‘re done already? I‘m still struggling my way through it. 5d

“‘-nication was possible with him, not because he lied but because he was surrounded by the most reliable of all safeguards against the words and the presence of others, and hence against reality as such. (EJ 49)‘

His words were empty because his mind was without resonance. Eichmann was thoughtless to the point that he no longer inhabited the real world—which was partly why he could wreak such terror upon it.”

Sounds familiar.

“What is being claimed is the right to have rights.”

Boy, isn‘t that just the nail on the head today.

Having recently finished Silent Spring, and now dipping my toes into the deep waters of Arendt, it looks like it‘s the time to give Baldwin a try. Finally.

AshleyHoss820 Baldwin is one of my deep literary loves. He‘s going to hurt you in such a wonderful way. Enjoy! ☺️🧡 2w

kspenmoll I want to read more Baldwin too in light of this book. 5d

Empathy. Being able to understand, to care about other people. What happened to it?

Just have some deep thoughts. It feels like deep thoughts have gone out of fashion these days.

I‘ve been saying that the folks going on about “young people” having no common sense have lost all understanding of common sense for like 10 years now.
